Sonuds of Singinr, Prayer and Fxhorta tion An imothered. A BALEFUL INFLUENCE ON POLITICS fSFr.CIAI. TTLEGKAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Buooki.yx, MaylS Dr. Talmage'stext to-day was Iark is , 2o, "Thou dumb and deaf t.pirit, I charge thee, come out of him." Here was a case of jrrent domestic anguish. Tiie cm of the household -was possessed of nti evil spirit which, amonj; other thing"!, paralyzed his tongue and made him speech less. When the influenco was on the pa tient, ho could not say a word articulation w as impossible. Tho spirit that captured tlii member of the household was a dumb spirit so-called by Christ a spirit abroad to-Uay and as lively and as potent ns in Ke w Testament times. Yet In all the realms of Bcrmonolofry, I cannot And a discourse con cerning this dumu devil which Christ charged upon in my text, saying: "Come out of him." There has been much destructive super stition abroad in the world concerning pos session by evil spiilts. Under tho form of belief in witchcraft this delusion swept the continents. Persons were supposed to bo possessed with somo evil spirit, which mado them able to destroy others. That belief. which has become tho handling stock of all sensible people, counted its disciples among the wcst and best people of Sweden, Gor many. England, France, Spain and Xew England. r.il Spirits Still in (lie Land. But w liile we reject witchcraft, any man who believes tho Biblo must bollevo that there are diabolical agencies abroad in tho world. While there arc ministering spirits to bliss, there are infernal spirits to hinder, topoionand desrioy. Christ was spoaking to a spiritual existence, hen, standing be fore ti.o aillictrd ono of the text. Ho said, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, come out of liim.- Against this dumb devil of the text, I put you on your guard. Do not think that this Hgent of evil lias put his blight on those wtio, by omis-ion of the vocal organs, have had the golden gates of speech bolted and Imrred. Among those who have neverspofc cii a word are tho most gracious and lovely and talented souls that were ever incarnat rd. The chaplains of the asylums for the dumb can tell yon enchanting stories of those, who never called the name of father or motliet or child. Wo are not this morn ing -peaking of congenital mutes. We mean tnoscwhoare born with all the faculticsof vocalization, and yet have been struck by the c il one mentioned in the text. There has been apotheosization of silence. Some ono has said silence is golden, and sometimes the greatest triumph is to keep your month shut. But sometimes silence is a crime and tho direct result of tho baleful inllucnco of tho dumb devil of our text, ""ere Is hardly a man or woman in this lie ie to-day who has not been present on ro-.io occasion when the Christian religion became a target lor raillory. Perhaps it Mas over in the store somo day when there was not much going on and the clerks were in a group; or It was in tho factory at tho noon spcIL Mlrnce When Religion Is Railed. Some one got the lauzh on the Bible and caricatured the profession of religion as liypocrisy. or made a pun out of something that Christ said. The laugh started and you Joined in, and not one word of protest did yon utter. Wnat kept you silent? Modesty? Xa Incapacity to answer? Xo. Lack of opportunity? Xo. It was a blow on both your lips by the wing of tho dumb devil. If some one should malign your father, or mother, or wife, or husband, or child, you would llush up quick, and either with an in dignant n ord, or doubled up list, make re sponse Anu yet neie is onr cni-lstlan re ligion, -n hich has done so much for yon and so much for the woi Id that It will take all eternity to celebrate it, and yet, when it was attacked, you did not so much as say: "I diflcr. 1 object. lam sorry to hear you say that. There is another side to this." You Christian people ought in such times as these to go armed, aot with earthly wea pons but with the sword of the Spirit. You ousht to have four or five questions with which yon could confound any man who at tacks Christianity. Oh, friends, better load up ith a few interrogation points. You crnnot airord to bo silent when God and tho Bible and the things of eternity are assailed. Your silence gives consent to the bombard ment of your father's house. You allow a slur to be cat on your mother's dying pil loi. In behalf of the Christ, who foryou vent through the agonies 01 assassination on the locky bluff back of Jerusalem, tou daicd not face a sickly Joke. Better load up with a few questions'so that next timo you w-ill be ready. A Few Leading; Questions Suggested. Say to tho scoffer: "My dear sir, will you tell mo hat makes the difference between the condition of woman in China and the United States? What do you think of tho sermon on tho Mount? How do you like the golden rule laid down in the Scriptures? Are yon in favor of the ten commandments? In your lame and extensive reading have you come across a lovelier character than Jesus Christ? Will you please to name the triumph ant death-beds of infidels and atheists? How do you account for their fondness for tho Christian religion? Among tho innumerable collcces aud universities of the eaith. will you name me three, started by infidels and now supported by infidels? Down in your heart aie you reaily happy in the position you occupy antagonistic to the Christian re ligion? fien do you have the most raptur ous view s of tho world?" Go at him with a few such questions and he will get so red in the face as to suggest apoplexy, and he w ill look at his watch and say ne lias an engagement and must go. You will put him in a sweat that will beat a Tin lush bath. You will put him on a rout compared with which our troops at Bull linn made no time at all. Arm yourself, not with arguments, but intcirogatlon points, and I promise vou victorv. Shall such a man as you, shall such a w oman as you, sur render to one of the meanest spirits that evor smoked up from tho pit the dumb devil spoken of in the text? Hut then there are occasions when this particular spirit that Christ exorcised when lie said: "1 charge thee to come out of him," takes people by the wholesale. Sllenco That Ought to Be Song. In the most responsive religious audience have you noticed how many people never sing at all? They have a book and they have a volco and they know how to read. They know many of the tunes, and yet are silent while the great raptures of music pass by. Among those who singnot oneout of a hundred sings loud enough to hear his own voice. They hum it. They give a sort of Teligious grunt. They make the lips go but It is mandible. With a voice strong enough to stop a street car one block away, all they can afford in the praise of God is about half a whisper. With enough sopranos, enough alto, enough basos to make a small heaven between the four walls they let tho oppor tunity go by unimproved. The volume of Toice that ascends Irom the largest audience that ever assembled ought to be multiplied about two-thousand fold. But the minister rises and gives out tho hmn; the organ begins; the choir oi pre centor leads; the audience are standing to that the lunss may have full expansion, and n mighty harmony is about to ascend, when the evil spirit spoken or in my text the dumb devil spreads his two wings, one over the lins ot one-half the audience and the other wing over the lips of the other '""" ""J auaience, ana tne voices roil uncle into the throats from which they started, and only here and there anything is heard, and nine-tenths of tho holy power is destroyed: and the dumb devil, as he flies away, saj : -I could not keop Isaac Watts iroin writing that hymn, and I could not Keep Lowell Mason from composing the tune to which it is set, but I smote into silence or half silence the lips from which it would have spread abroad to bless neighbor hoods and cities. .omo Stories of Favorite Hymns. How much more hearty we would be In our songs, and how easily we could drive back the dumb devil from all our worship ing assemblages, lr wo could realize that nearly all or our hymns nave a stirring his tory. That glorious hymn "Stand Up for T,eSHU,s 5S ""SZed by tho last woAs of !?JCyi ?" w"'as dying from having h,ls.rls, arm torn offuy threshing ma chine. That hymn "What a Friend We Have ln,.,r.US' ll.e.?ra through a telephone, con vened an obdurate soul. "Shall We Gather ut the Ktver?

"No," said Wesley, "if you had 10,000 tongues you had better use them for Christ." While muoh of the modern music Is a religious doggerel, a consecrated nonsense, a sacred Imbecility, I would like to see some great musician or our time lift the baton and marshal Luther's Judgment Hymn, Yarmouth, Dundee, Ariel, Brattle-street, Uxbride, l'level's Hymn, Harwell. Antioch, Mount PIsgafi and Coronation, with a few regiments of mighty tunes mado In our own time, and storm Asia, Africa and America for the Kingdom of God. But the first thing to do is to drive out the dumb devil of tho text Irom all our churches. Timely Words of Exhortation Withheld. Do not, however, let us loso ourselves In generalities. Not one of us but has had our lives sometimes touched by the spirit of tho text this awful dumb devil. We had Jnst one opportunity of saying a Christian word that might have led a man or woman Into a Christian life. The opportunity -was lairly put bcroro us. The word of invitation or convolution or warning came to the in side gate of the month, but there it halted. Some hindering power locked the Jaws to gether so that thoy did not open. Tho tongue lay flat and still in the bottom of the mouth as though struck with paralysis. We were mute. Though God had given us the plivslological apparatus for speeoh, and our lungs were filled with air which, by the command ot our will, could have made the laiyngeal muscles move and tho vocal or gans vibtnte, wo were wickedly and fatally silent. For all time and eternity we missed ourohance. Or it was a prayer meeting, ana the serv ice was thrown open for prayer and re marks, and there was a dead Halt every thing silent as a graveyard at midnight. Indeed it was a graveyard and midnight. Men, bold enough on business exchange or in worldly circles, shut their eyes as though they were praving in silence, but they were not praying at all. They were busy hoping somebody else would do his duty. The women flushed under the awful pauso and made their fans moro rapidly flutter. Some brother, with no cold, couehed. by that sound trying to fill up the time, and the meeting was slain. But what killed it? tho dumb devil. This is the way I account for the fact that the stupidest places on earth are some prnyer meetings. The Dumb Devil In Politics. I do not see how a man keeps any grace if he regularly attends ttiem. They aro spirit ual refrigerators religion kept on ice. But do not let the w orld deride the chnrch because of all this, for the dumb devil is Just as conspicuous in the world. The two great political parties will soon assemble to build platfoims for tho Presidental candi dates to stand on. A committee of each party will be appointed to make the plat form. After proper deliberation, the com mittees will come in with a ringing report: "Whereas," and "Whereas," and "U'hereas." Pronuncinmontocs all shaped with the ono idea of getting the most votes. All expres sion in regard to the great moral evils of the country ignored. No expression about the liquor traffic, for that would lose the rum vote. No expression in regard to the universal attempt at the demolition of tho Lord's Day. No recognition of God in the history ot this nation, tor that would lose the vote of the atheist. But "Whereas," and "Whereas," and "Whereas." Nine cheers will be given for the platlorm. The dumb devil of the text will put one wing over the Republican platform and tho other wing over the Democratic platform. There is nothing involved in tho next election except offices. The great conven tions will be opened with prayer by their Chaplains. If they avoid platltutes and tell the honest truth in their prayers, thoy will say: "O Lord, we want to be Postmasters and Consuls and Foreign Ministers and Unitod States District Attorneys. For that wo are here, nnd for that wo will strivo till tho election next November. Give us office, or we die " Be out and out, up and down for right eousness Jf your ship is afloat on the Paclflo Ocean of God's mercy, hang out your colors from mast-head. Show your passport If you have one. Do not smuggle your son! Into the harbor ol heaven. Speak out for God!

Every woman is interested in it. They like to use the best their circumstances will allow. Many Icel unable to use Camellia, but knowing the reputation of the Marshall Kennedy Milling Co. for milling nothing but high grade flour desire to use flour made by them. !For this class our Bayard Amber is especially designed. It is not so dear as Camellia, but a better all around family flour at the price cannot be lound. It is made by the same machinery that makes "Camellia," and of selected wheat. It is strong, white and regular and recom mends itself after one trial as the king brand of its grade, as Camellia is the queen in its. If you want a medium-priced flour of sterling merit use Bayard Amber. Economy and Quality. In Minnehaha flour quality has reached Its highest perfection; flour cannot be made finer. Yet, owing to its great strength, the quality of bread made irom it is so much larger than from winter wheat flour that in the end it is cheaper.

In extracting fruit flavors Dr. Price deals directly with na ture and leaves the use of artificial extracts to those who have not the chemical knowledge to extract from the true fruit, and who care not what they sell so long as they can make money. Dr. Price's Delicious Flavoring Extracts are conceded to have no peers in the market and thus the demand is con stantly increasing. The man ufacturer of cheap extracts gets all the profit there is in the dishonesty and the gro cer has to shoulder all the blame. BEFRESEXTED IN PITTSBURG IN 180L INS. CO. OF NORTH AMERICA.
